'There are two of these loop members 10, and in cooperation with these members, I

These parallel portions terminate in ends 20 and 21, each of which Y is coiled about the shaft `16 between the coiled ends 14 and 15 of the loops 10.

This will confine c the hair as shownin Fig. 1 and will* form a vrpair of wave crests along the line of each of the parallel members 18 and 19.v

Mounted on the pivot 16 1s a comb mounting member 22 which may be of any Vpartic- A ular type for kmounting a comb 23 relatively to `said pivot. This mounting member Vis with a pair of rivets A equipped, preferably` 24 andthe comb is cu mounting member and general.

I will now describe device and its results.

n to each of the loops the operation of my It Will be readily understood that the hair waver when applied to the hair, forms a pair of wave crests by means ofeach of the loops l and the U-member 17 which has the 5 parallel leg portions 18 and 19 traversing the longitudinal center of each of these loops 10. The trough of the wave will be formed at the bases of the teeth of the comb 23 which are located in a plane substantially below that of the crest forming members 18 and 19. A .sliding movement of the comb 23, as quite apparent, will then move the hair comprising the trough of' the wave in a lateral direction relatively to the crests thereof, which are being held in a fixed position, while this lateral motion takes place. This will give the professional waving effect clearly illustrated in Figure 1 comprising a pair of wave crests and a trough, the hair ofthe trough being laterally as well as vertically displaced from the hair of the crests.

Referring now more particularly to Figure 6, I illustrate a modification of my invention wherein the loop members areunsecured as in the position of Figure 1, by a member 26. This allows for a free pivotal movement of each of the loops 10 and 11 relatively to the pivot shaft 16 and the spacer sleeve 16. The comb mounting member 22 is pivoted on this shaft 16 and `carries slidably secured thereto the lusual comb 23 as is described in the first modication. This comb carries a handle portion 28 by which it may be actuated in a sliding direction. This handle 28 has a further function in that it acts to interlock With the loop member 17 to hold the comb in an extended position as is quite Vclear in Figure 6. Whereas I do not show this handle 28 in the modification of Figures 1 to 5 inclusive, it should be understood that the same `may be used therein in the same relation as in Figure 6.

From the above description, the oper-ation and construction of my device should vbe clear. Although I have described but two 'embodiments of my invention, it will be understood that modifications of the same within the scope of the appended claims will readily occur to one skilled in the art. What I claim is 1. An article of the class described comprising a pair of U-shaped members, central members traversing each of said U-members, each of said U-members and its respective traversing member acting :to form said U-members and to be secured relatively thereto to form a pair of Wave crests, a comb arranged between said pair of members and slidable relatively thereto, the plane of said comb being in the trough of the wave formed by said crests, whereby to shift the hair of said trough laterally relatively to the crests.

3. An article of the class described comprising a pair of independent loops'having parallel sides and formed of wire-like material, an end shaft, the ends of said loops being secured on said shaft in spaced relation, traversing wires mounted on said shaft and arranged to traverse the longitudinal center of cachot' said independent loops, and a comb slidably mounted relatively to said end shaft for movement between .said pair of loops.

Ll. An article of the class described com prising a pair of independent loops having parallel sides and formed .of -wireslike material, an end shaft, the ends of said loops being secured on said shaft in spaced relation, traversing wires mounted on said shaft and arranged to traverse 'the longitudinal center .of each of said independent loops, and a comb mounting carried on said Shaft kbetween said pair of'loops.

5. In the combination .of claim 4, la comb carried by said mounting and movable relatively thereto.

6. In the combination .of claim 4, a comb carried by said mounting and slidable relatively thereto, means securing said independent' loops at points substantially ro- ,moved from said end ,-shaft, said means forming a bearing for the sliding of said comb.

7. An article .of the .class described comprising a pair of 'independent loops formed of wire-like material, an end shaft, the .ends of said loops being secured on said shaft in spaced relation to each other, a .single vU-shaped Wire pivotally mounted on :said-` shaft, the sides of said -U Wire being aa'- ranged to traverse the longitudinal .center of each of said independent loops, a comb mounting secured to said shaft, and a scomb mounted for sliding movement relatively to said mounting.

8. In the combination of claim 7.,y means securing'v said independent loops to each other at a point substantially removed said end shaft, Avsaid means forming a bear-'- ing portion for said sliding comb.

9. An article .of the class 4described comprising a pair kof independent .loops .having parallel sides and fonmed of wire-like vmapivotal and sliding movement relatively 'to sard shaft.

10. An article of the classdescribed comprising a pair of independent loops having` parallel sides and formed of wire-like material, an end shaft, the ends of said loops being secured on said shaft inspaced relation to each other, a single U-shapedy wire-
